[PATCH 6 of 8] x86: always set _PAGE_GLOBAL in _PAGE_KERNEL* flags

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Tue Jul 01 2008 - 21:03:13 EST


Consistently set _PAGE_GLOBAL in _PAGE_KERNEL flags. This makes 32-
and 64-bit code consistent, and removes some special cases where
__PAGE_KERNEL* did not have _PAGE_GLOBAL set, causing confusion as a
result of the inconsistencies.

This patch only affects x86-64, which generally always supports PGD.
The x86-32 patch is next.
